Samutthana will strive to meet these objectives through collaboration with partners in the field in Sri Lanka and overseas.

As Samutthana is a non political and non partisan organisation it is committed to working in a manner that develops confidence and trust and therefore will :

1. Seek to ensure that all who work with Samutthana are treated with respect, irrespective of their ethnicity, language, race, religion,     gender.
2. Not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, language, race, religion, gender.
3. Not participate in activities which actively discriminate against any groups on the basis of ethnicity, language, race, religion, gender.
4. Not accept support in terms of funding or other support from organisations which apply limits to the use of funds/support offered on     the basis of ethnicity, language, race, religion, gender.
5. Establish appropriate mechanisms to monitor and ensure that these principles are respected.
